Standard

Standard Transmission:

4-speed or 5-speed manual transaxle

Optional

Optional Transmission:

3-speed or 4-speed automatic transaxle

Features

Transmission Features:

Front-wheel drive (FWD) layout. Manual transmissions often featured cable-operated clutch systems, while automatics were typically torque converter-based. Service includes clutch adjustment, replacement, gearbox oil changes, and troubleshooting for both manual and automatic units.

📐 Dimensions

Exterior

Exterior Dimensions Notes:

Dimensions varied slightly between Mk2 (T85) and Mk3 (T92) generations, and between hatchback, saloon (Belmont), and estate body styles. Specific overall length, width, and height would require consulting detailed specification tables for each body type and year.

Interior

Interior Dimensions Notes:

Seating for five occupants. Interior space and comfort were competitive for its class during its production run. The Belmont sedan offered a more traditional profile with a separate trunk.

Cargo

Cargo Dimensions Notes:

Cargo capacity varied by body style (hatchback vs. Belmont sedan vs. estate/wagon). Hatchback models offered folding rear seats for expanded cargo space. The Belmont sedan featured a traditional boot.

Weights

Weights Notes:

Curb weights typically ranged from approximately 950 kg to 1250 kg depending on engine, transmission, and equipment. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) ratings would be specified in individual vehicle documentation.

🛡️ Safety Features

Ratings

Safety Ratings Notes:

Safety standards evolved during the production period. Later models, especially from the Mk3 generation, incorporated improved safety features. Specific Euro NCAP or equivalent ratings for these early models are generally not available or comparable to modern standards.

Active Features

Active Features:

Optional ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) on higher trim levels or later models, power assisted steering (on some variants), disc brakes on front wheels, drum brakes on rear wheels.

Passive Features

Passive Features:

Seat belts (front inertia reel), reinforced body structure, padded dashboard, side impact beams (on later models), child safety locks on rear doors (on some models).

💡 Technology Features

Basic radio cassette players, often with AM/FM tuner. Later models may have offered upgraded sound systems. Speaker configurations varied by trim level. No advanced infotainment features like touchscreens or integrated navigation systems.

Driver Assistance

Driver Assistance Features:

Limited driver assistance systems for the era. Power steering was often an option or standard on higher trims. ABS was introduced on some higher-spec models towards the end of the Mk2 and during the Mk3 production.

Connectivity

Connectivity Features:

No modern connectivity features such as Bluetooth, USB, or Wi-Fi. Communication systems were limited to the basic car radio.

🔧 Maintenance
